iFixit tears down the HTC One M8

iFixit tears down the HTC One M8

The team over at iFixit are always happy to tear down a new device and take a look at its insides, and the new HTC One M8 is no different, releasing their own tear down review yesterday, they took a look at how easily the device could be repaired if needed.

They provided a numbers of comments for the phone, which seems to be a little to unrepairable, mentioning the following in their tear down:

– The battery is buried beneath the motherboard and adhered to the midframe, hindering its replacement.– The display assembly cannot be replaced without tunneling through the entire phone. This makes one of most common repairs, a damaged screen, very difficult to accomplish.– Copious amounts of tape, adhesive, and copper shielding make many components difficult to remove and replace.

All of this meant that they gave the HTC One M8 a repairability score of 2 out of 10, with 10 being the easiest to repair.
